In general cornstarch is used to thicken liquids and can be replaced with flour, arrowroot, potato starch, tapioca, coconut flour and even instant mashed potato granules. For frying, flour, salt and pepper is a decent substitute for cornstarch.

Can you make shortbread without rice flour?
Sure, just subsitute same amount rice flour for corn flour. You can also use corn startch (aka 'corn flour' in europe) to make a lighter textured short bread - sub 1/4 corn startch for regular flour used. You might also try using straight Maseca (mexican corn meal) to make the short bread, it comes out very sweet and tender.
What type of flour contains no gluten?
Yes. If you are using for baking cookies, muffins, cakes, quickbreads (like banana) and such, you can use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour*. Substitute into the recipe cup for cup. You'll also need to add about 1 teaspoon for xanthan gum for every cup of flour. You can't do this with a traditional kneaded bread recipe. The gluten in wheat flour is what makes the dough 'stretchy'. You can make bread with gluten free flour, but you need a completely different recipe. And the final 'dough' will be more of a batter. I think you also won't be able to sub cup for cup with any pasta you are trying to run through a sheeter, because, again, you need the strength of the gluten to hold the dough together. But something like gnocchi or speztle might work. *I am not affiliated with Bob's in anyway, I've just used it and know that it works great and is MUCH easier than mixing a bunch of sorghum/tapioca/fava/rice etc flours together yourself.

Do jews eat pasta during passover?
Due to the prohibition against unleavened bread, raw flour cannot be used during Passover. In order to be used for Passover, dough has to be thoroughly cooked within 18 minutes of the flour being mixed with water. When pasta is made, water is mixed with flour and the formed pasta is left to dry without being cooked and therefore is not allowed. There are kosher for Passover pastas that are made with potato starch/flour.
